Hi;

Welcome also and am wishing you the best with your surgery on Monday. I'm stage 3-4 based on initial survey. CT's scheduled for Aug 1. PET is to be scheduled. They think I will lose about 1/3 of my lower jaw and about a 3rd or my tongue - plus skin in the floor of my mouth. This means skin transplant(s) from somewhere like my arm and a bone transplant - probably from my leg. I won't know more until they get all of the imaging done. Wishing you the best with the surgery. Fingers crossed. For me this just felt like I had an abcessed tooth that needed extraction. Boy, I was wrong.
